Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces salmon fillet
- 1 cup shrimp (peeled, deveined, and chopped)
- 1 cup crab meat (cooked and picked clean)
- 4 ounces cream cheese (softened)
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 2 tablespoons parsley (chopped)
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped shrimp, crab meat, softened cream cheese, panko breadcrumbs, minced garlic, parsley, lemon zest, lemon juice, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, half the salt, and black pepper. Mix well until fully combined.
Lay the salmon fillets skin-side down on a cutting board. Using a sharp knife, slice a pocket into the thickest part of each fillet for the stuffing, being careful not to cut all the way through.
Season the salmon fillets with the remaining salt, black pepper, and paprika both inside and on the outer surfaces.
Scoop generous portions of the stuffing mixture into the pockets of each salmon fillet, gently pressing it in to secure the filling.
Place the stuffed salmon fillets onto the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle each fillet with the remaining olive oil.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flaky, and the stuffing is golden on top.
Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve warm, garnished with additional parsley or a lemon wedge if desired. Pair with your favorite side dish, such as steamed vegetables or rice.
